BREAKING: Woman found not guilty of murdering Emily Jones after prosecution drop charge
a jury heard that Emily was killed by Skana as she was riding her scooter through Queen's Park, Bolton, on Mother's Day, March 22, of this year.The child had been riding to meet her mother when the defendant sprang from a waiting bench, grabbed her and then sliced her across the neck with a craft knife she had bought that morning, the court has already been told.Today, prosecution barrister Michael Brady QC told the jury that the Crown Prosecution Service would no longer pursue a murder charge and asked them to find Skana not guilty of that offence.Speaking to the jury, he said the prosecution had decided that was 'no longer any realistic prospect of conviction' for murder."This is not a decision that has been taken lightly by the Crown,"
